backup files like .py~ for eg had their own menu entries which got annoying.
added optional filter_ext function callback argument to Menu.path_menu() to avoid displaying invalid types.
--debug
--debug-ffmpeg
--debug-python
--debug-events
--debug-wm
This makes debug output easier to read - event debug prints would flood output too much before.
For convenience:
--debug-all turns all debug flags on (works as --debug did before).
also removed some redundant whitespace in debug prints and prefix some prints with __func__ to give some context.
This also makes it clearer that the faces are for tessellated results only.
Added a section on the Gotcha's about upgrading scripts, the pros and cons of MeshTessFace/MeshPoly/BMFace.
and spesifically how to upgrade importers and exporters for 2.63+.
this report exposed multiple bugs in blender when using a non utf8 compatible home directory.
- bpy.utils.script_paths() would crash when homedir wasn't utf8 (reported bug)
- PyC_DefaultNameSpace() - would raise an error when running when __file__ was non utf8.
- preset filepath property was not set to accept non utf8.
- bpy.paths.display_name would raise an error on non utf8 paths, (used for preset draw)
sphinx_doc_gen.sh broke building docs -
- examples/ svn directory was being removed since it assumed an out-of-source build.
- include references somehow stopped working (didnt find why).
also fixed an unrelated error with building docs in object_utils.py
- Reset rotation value when toggling Align to View property
which correctly re-alignes object on continuous property
toggling and fixes issue
#30510: [2.62] Add Mesh - Torus - "Align to View" cannot be switched back when toggling off
- Moves all generic object-add properties into a helper function
which might be easily re-used.
we cant ensure buildinfo to have utf8 encoding so access it as bytes via python - a different workaround then this patch made.
also use C style string formatting for sys_info.py
===========
initial merge from BMesh branch,
this replaces the existing mesh format and editmode data structures, for more info see:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.6/Source/Modeling/BMesh
this is the work of quite a few developers over the years.

What to Expect
==============
In general blender shouldnt crash on files or totally fail to load scenes,
painting tools etc have been tested to work.
* its quite easy to make the tesselator fail (show holes, missing faces), with non planer ngons.
* most modifiers are working fine but a few had to be re-written - bevel, array - array is much slower, bevel will probably be changed to match trunk soon.
* NavMesh BGE feature isn't functional yet.
* Some UV sticth tools still need porting.
* hair doesnt work right on ngons yet.
* many python scripts will break.
* a python api to BMesh needs to be written still.
(for todo's in code do a searh for BMESH_TODO)
in existing addons this only effects OBJ import.
interestingly even though this is a bug (in that its returning a placeholder when it should load the image), since the placeholder points to the correct path, the image will load correctly when refreshed, so the bug's not too bad.
